摘要:
A developer device includes two developer rollers arranged opposite to an image carrier. A first developer bias voltage (waveform Z) of a rectangular waveform obtained by superimposing an AC voltage on a DC voltage is applied to one of the developer rollers. A second developer bias voltage (waveform A) obtained by superimposing an AC voltage on a DC voltage is applied to the other developer roller. The waveform A is a waveform obtained by deforming the rectangular wave in the first developer bias voltage such that toner adhered to the image carrier is prevented from being dislodged by toner being subsequently scattered. According to the developer device, an optimal image density can be obtained at a low-density potential.

摘要:
A development apparatus and an image forming apparatus wherein optical high-precision detection of the toner amount of a toner layer formed on a toner carrying member is ensured even when the great amount of the toner is deposited on the toner carrying member by transferring all or a part of the toner on the surface of the toner carrying member onto a detecting roller, and wherein stable images are provided at all times.
摘要:
Provided is a deposited-toner measuring apparatus capable of accurate detection of the amount of toner deposited on the toner carrying member, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the aforementioned measuring apparatus and capable of controlling the amount of toner deposited on the toner carrying member to a desired level so as to provide stable image quality at all times. A deposited-toner measuring apparatus that removes a toner layer in a part of the surface of the toner carrying member, detects change in the capacitance at the portion with a toner layer and the portion without such a toner layer, and detects the amount of the deposited toner based on the detection result of the said change in the capacitance.

Provided are a development apparatus and an image forming apparatus which, in a hybrid development apparatus provided with a plurality of toner carriers, a toner supply capability to supply toner to each toner carrier is controlled independent of development electric fields between the toner carriers and an image carrier, whereby each toner carrier is allowed to exhibit a desired development capability, and even in the case of high speed development, a high quality image is provided. The phases, the frequencies, and/or the duty ratios of the alternating current components of the voltages applied to the plurality of the toner carriers are made to be different, whereby the toner supply amount for each toner carrier from the developer carrier is controlled independently of the development electric fields between the toner carriers and the image carrier.
摘要:
Provided is a development device and an image forming apparatus that realize high image quality with improved decrease in density at high speed development and with reduced occurrence of development hysteresis (ghost) in a hybrid developing method having a plurality of toner carriers, by reducing the decrease in the toner supplying ability to a downstream-side toner carrier, which decrease is caused by the supply of toner to an upstream-side toner carrier on an upstream side in a rotating direction of a developer carrier. By providing a magnetic pole between main magnetic poles, of the developer carrier, facing the toner carriers, a magnetically raised bristle of developer is moved by a magnetic force, while the developer in which development hysteresis due to supplying toner to the upstream-side toner carrier occurred is conveyed to supply toner to the downstream-side toner carrier, whereby a developer layer is stirred.
摘要:
In a hybrid development method using a plurality of toner carriers, a development device and image forming apparatus are provided, wherein high image quality in which toner density is not reduced even in the case of high speed printing and the occurrence of development hysteresis (ghost) is controlled is ensured by accelerating the collection of the post-development residual toner on the toner carrier. The counter-charge having occurred in the developer remains in the developer without decreasing to disappear until the developer moves to the second toner carrier on the downstream-side, wherein this counter-charge is caused by supplying toner to the first toner carrier upstream in the rotating direction of the developer carrier.
